WatchPitch Podcast: For Start-Ups & Investors

Welcome to Season 4 of the WatchPitch Podcast where we continue with a particular focus on exits... for start-ups, entrepreneurs and business owners...an exit strategy that could be the result of a Merger, an Acquisition or the outright sale of your business. In our last episode we talked about Merger & Acquisition readiness for your business. This episode is about, in many respects, the HOW of best practices to get there, and be ready with systems and best practices fully integrated into your business operations and culture... from the ground up. This ensures continuity, growth and integration with the impacts of an exit for you, your buyer and your team. Matthew Abrams joins us again for WatchPitch with Entrepreneurial Operating Systems or EOS as a best practice baseline for the start-up eco-system as well as the active and growing business that is looking at a future exit. This just isn’t being talked about enough and that’s why we are here...so, let’s get started!

Time. That is clearly what it is going to take if you are looking to exit. And, internal structures and systems in place that can ensure continuous results that build your capacity, your productivity and results. So commit to those structures so that when there is an exit, your new partners are inheriting a proven system for those results. We are thrilled you watched and/or listened to this WatchPitch Episode as we continue to explore the world of exits, mergers and acquisitons for business Founders and Owners !

So certainly, one of the keys for any business as you launch and grow and scale towards the goal of an exit are those financials, which means having a great CPA and a great business lawyer.

Season 4 - Episode 43 - Serial Entreprenuer, For Better and For Worse: Striking a Balance with Chris Buehler

Welcome to Season 4 of the WatchPitch Podcast where we continue with our particular focus on exits... for start-ups, entrepreneurs and business owners...an exit strategy that could be the result of a Merger, an Acquisition or the outright sale of your business. Our program today features a serial entrepreneur who by his own admission has indeed, had a very successful exit alongside several others that never made it off the launch pad. What is the secret sauce for when to begin thinking about the exit? Well, listen up because it is sooner than you think and to do it well takes a lot of grit...and balance. The arc of the exit just isn’t being talked about enough and that’s why we are here.

Value. That has to be front row and center for any exit. For the investor and for the business with their customers and clients. Determining value for the return for an investor or for the Founder for that matter can be very speculative at an early stage. So count on your track record, your financial returns and the market for your product and service as driving any exit strategy in the future...
